Fact of the day: I’ve never done a “confessional” post. Ever! I know, I know…apparently I’ve been living under a rock. But I recently came across Jessica’s blog (is she adorable or what?!) and saw that she was hosting a Confessional Thursday linkup…so I decided it was finally time to jump on the bandwagon and start confessing! So here goes nothing…
We’re heading to Arden’s parent-teacher conference this morning and I’m oddly excited. Yep, she’s in preschool.
I saw these on Ashley’s blog yesterday and totally fell in love. Trying to figure out how I can sneak a purchase like this by my budget-loving husband 😉
Every time I leave Nash alone for more than 10 seconds, I come back to something terrifying like this. Also, Hazel is a terrible babysitter.
I’m super excited for Valentine’s Day…because we get to watch Jade & Tanner’s wedding. Duh!!!! If I see her at Target again I’m totally going to ask her all about the big day. Maybe…
Speaking of the Bachelor…I was THIS close to looking at the spoilers on Monday night. That preview of the finale where Ben changes his mind is c-r-a-z-y!!!!! D I have the willpower to wait until the end to find out? I just don’t know…
Don’t tell Arden that this is what happens when her brother gets out of the bath before she does. He plays with her dollhouse and uses her tiny Barbie table for a stool…bare buns and all. This kid is something else, I tell ya…
I keep telling myself that the reason I haven’t been going to the gym lately is because the kids always seem to get sick when we do. Truth is…I don’t have an ounce of motivation either, so it works out 😉 I think I’m going to need some spring weather to inspire me!
I still can’t believe my “man flu” post for the Kansas City Mom’s Blog was republished by For Every Mom yesterday. Poor Chris! Ha!
I miss school holiday parties! Guess I’m going to have to be a professional room mom to get my fix! Had a great time with this little Valentine yesterday at her preschool party…
Well that was fun! I might just be back next week…you never know!
Happy almost-Friday, friends!

That BOOTIE!!!!! And those floral pants are amazing, I definitely think you need them!
Ridiculous isn’t it?!? And I think you’re RIGHT! 🙂
Oh Nash! Love his fearlessness and little booty. I won’t tell Arden either what he does when she isn’t looking. Yay for preschool parties. Looks like fun and a success based on Arden’s smile. Cam has his tomorrow, but parents aren’t allowed to join. I want to be a fly on the wall.
I know! I wish they offered video monitoring like some daycares do (ha!)…although I’m sure I’d never get anything done 😉
I’m all about the spoilers! I read them before the season starts! I love watching who actually wins and seeing their relationship bloom!
I did that one time and I actually kind of liked it too! I knew that Catherine was going to win Sean’s season and it was really interesting because you never would’ve guessed it from like the first 5 episodes! And now they’re pretty much the cutest couple on the planet…
Hahahaha Nash on the table!!!! That looks so much like our house on the daily (in fact there’s a pic of Ben standing on our poor doggie in my post today). Also, I definitely checked out the Bachelor spoilers. I can ever wait. Although they have been wrong a few times so you still never know haha. When he does interviews he won’t say if he’s in love or not though. Makes me wonder…
Ben and Nash–two peas in a pod! 😉 And I guess that’s true about Reality Steve…you still don’t know for sure!! I think it’s weird that Ben has been on the after show a couple of times…I feel like that’s got to be really hard to say anything without giving it all away?! Anyway, I wonder too!!!
Oh little brothers!
Seriously! He’s living up to all the stereotypes 😉
This post is so great! Oh my gosh! Nash’s booty, that is the best thing I’ve seen all week. LOL Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your cute kiddos!!!
Haha–good!! I usually try not to post pics that might embarrass them when they’re older, but this one was too good to keep to myself 😉 Happy v-day friend!!!
Ha ha! Your kids are adorable! Congrats on your first “confession!” You did a great job!
Thank you! It was pretty fun…I think I’m hooked 😉
I am so behind on the bachelor because I am from the U.K so I have to find links to watch it which is a pain so I tend to just read the spoilers but I promised myself this season that I won’t we will soon see! I am so impatient. Yeah I haven’t been going to the gym either the weather is so bad but that is so not an excuse I need to get this booty in gear pronto!
I’m impressed…you have some serious self-control!!! I use the weather excuse too…and a few others 😉
Oh my gosh, I LOVE those leggings. If you figure out a way to sneak them past your husband, tell me your trick…because mine would never get over the price tag, lol! Men just don’t understand those kinds of things. And girl, I had NO idea it was Tanner and Jade getting married this Sunday. I’ve been wondering ever since I saw the preview. That makes me so excited! SO happy for them! Thanks for linking up with me today. Your first confessions were great:)
Aren’t the leggings perfect?! If I can devise a plan I will definitely let you know! 😉 And yes–I’m sooooo excited to watch their wedding! They live in the same town as me and I checked out behind her at Target about a month ago…to say I totally geeked out would be an understatement!!! Thanks for hosting–I think I’m hooked! 🙂
So many things to love here! 🙂 One-that little naked bum! 🙂 And Valentines party are my jam!! 🙂 Too bad Lily Caroline’s party was cancelled due to the snow! And those leggings-all the heart eyes!
Noooo! Darn snow!! I think you’re going to need to request a reschedule! 😉
That bachelor special does look so good, doesn’t it! And wait a minute – you saw Jade at Target before?! Agreed with the spoilers – after Monday it took much willpower not to look too but for now I stayed strong. That dollhouse picture – cuuuuute!
Good for you!! I hope I can stay strong for another week! And yes, Jade and Tanner live close to us! (Which is crazy because what semi-famous people live in Kansas??) Get ready, I’m creepy and snuck a picture of her… https://sunflowerstateofmind.com/2015/12/back-to-basics-bachelor-spottings/
Nash standing on the table!!!! And the funniest part–his proud, look-at-me-Mom face!! Also, if you look at Bachelor spoilers, you better let me know! Because right now, the only reason I’m not is because of peer pressure not to from, ahem, YOU! And finally, where did you get your dining room light fixture? We are wanting to replace our builder grade fixtures (already replaced island lights) and I really want one of those spherical ones! (But we also don’t want to pay an arm and a leg.)
I know, he’s so proud–even after I scream NOOO! That kid is going to give me some gray hairs, I’m sure of it! Okay let’s make a deal…if we look, we’ll look together?? LOL. We got the light fixture from wilson lighting when we built…I think World Market has a similar one though? It’s the “metal orb chandelier” 🙂
I wish we had parent/teacher conferences! We can see one up of necessary, but they aren’t standard. And I love volunteering in the classroom too! I get to help with the v-day party today!
There’s not much to it to be honest, but it is nice just to hear from the teacher since dropoff and pickup are always busy and don’t allow much time for that. Have fun at the Liam’s party today!!!!
WAIT!!! Ben changes his mind!? I’M SO INTRIGUED! Must. Find. Out. More.
Don’t feel bad, I just hopped on the Confessions bandwagon last week & I am loving it so much!!
CRAZY, huh?!? I think Monday’s episode was the first time they showed previews for that…I was like where did this come from?!? Basically he sends the first girl home, then sends the second home because he realized he loves the first one more. Holy moly. This season has been pretty entertaining!
The naked butt on the table just made my entire day. So hilarious.
Oh Nash! ??? so adorable!
And, I agree, the bachelor finale looks intense!
Oh my goodness. That picture of the buns on that tiny stool. Adorable and too funny! Love love.
Nash’s freakin’ bootie….. I DIE!! My 3 yr old had to come running over to see what I was laughing about! It’s just too much! And yesterday when I read Ashley’s blog I totally scoped out those leggings too and totally thought of you! They kinda remind me of the Lula Roe leggings you were!
Nash cracks me up! Those bare buns on Barbie’s table – dying!
You have to ask Jade for the details – along with snapping a photo with her. 🙂
I was soooo tempted to look at the spoilers on the bach after that teaser too! I even confessed to my sister so she would tell me DON’T DO IT! AHhhhhhhhh!!!!
xx
So I have a confession… I totally looked up who won the other night after the bachelor and I’m happy to say, I was right. If you don’t want to know, don’t look it up, because I also googled who Ben calls on the phone with no luck! My guess is that I think it’s his mom though!
Oh Nash!!!! How cute?? x
P.S. Jade & Tanner are my BEST! x
I say the pants are a total YES. Because how often do you really wear pants… floral leggings,it’s so Spring 😉
and I looked up spoilers. hahaha I have no willpower.
Nash– LOVE him. He’s hilarious.
That pic of Nash and the dollhouse…I die! BEST.THING.EVER!
LOL love Nash and his bare bootie on the Barbie table! 🙂 also I need to know about those buffalo check curtains in your dining room!!
